"In far North Phoenix, Connolly’s Sports Grill is a solid outpost for low-key football weekends and staple pub fare. This bar has a welcoming, regulars’ feel, with an open-air patio, plenty of screens, and unpretentious patrons. The menu offers a few surprises, like a hearty shepherd’s pie and a crispy fish fry that’s unexpectedly good for the area — ideal for pairing with a Captain Morgan-based drink. With its laid-back setting and well-rounded comfort food lineup, Connolly’s is ideal for a casual match or a quiet night out." - McConnell Quinn
